Tanya addresses the aspirations and challenges which face the "average" person. The range of subjects dealt with is breathtaking: the infinitude of G-d, the "mechanics" of Creation; the soul of the Jew; the structure of the human personality; the resolution of inner conflict; free will; good and evil; the nature of the cosmos; and the Messianic age. Rabbi Schneur Zalman reveals how one can achieve perfect harmony between body and soul. In his system the mundane and esoteric, the Kabbalah and the Talmud, are thoroughly blended and unified, just as physical and metaphysical, body and soul, emerge as two aspects of the same unified reality, reflecting the unity of the Creator.
The handsome bi-lingual edition includes a lucid translator's introduction to each section as well as a glossary and extensive footnotes, providing and in-depth explanation of many concepts and technical terms.
